7/24/2019 Twilight Poem

1/1

Twilight

The soft, diused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon,

either from daybreak to sunrise or, more commonly, from sunset to

nightfall.

A state of uncertainty, vagueness, or gloom.

Streaks of stubborn white clouds linger,

Captured within a canvas of mauve twilight

With tendrils of crimson peeking from behind

As it does in circadian cycles.

Stems sashay with serene ardour,

Entwining like partners

erforming a display of e!otic e!citement

"eleasing, relishing and returning.

As #uiet and slow as a predator of day,

$he blanket of night creeps imperceptibly%

As a warning of terror,

And a reminder of torment.

Concealed by recurring routines,

&mpending uncertainties of darkness

Are forgotten and covered for a cycle of day '

$o be revealed, unscathed, by night.
